🤖 Samsung could ditch Google for Bing AI and ChatGPT

So, you know Google’s Bard?

That’s baby stuff, apparently.

They have much more in store for us.

👀 Google full-speed ahead on new AI search experience

The meme was RIP Google.

Everyone said it.

Probably because they used ChatGPT to search something. 

And then got relevant results.

Not an answer, under four links that were actually sponsored. Or a recipe buried under a life story, so you scroll through 90 ads.

But let’s be honest. The alternative is...Bing. Would you really make your default search engine Bing?

Samsung is reportedly considering it.

Google has massive contracts with many major phone manufacturers. These are literal billions of dollars that Google pays Apple, for example, every year. In turn, Apple makes Google the default search engine on every iPhone.

Now, Samsung is kicking the tires on switching to Bing.

Gulp. That news reportedly drove Google to drop everything in pursuit of a better search experience, powered by AI.

Better than Bard, for the record.

And look, even though there’s no way Samsung would do this, we can’t blame Google. If you found out someone else who was objectively worse was vying for your job, you’d kick it into overdrive too.

But this just goes to show that public perception != reality. Everyone thinks Google is asleep at the wheel. The reality: they are fighting off an existential thread.

🤯 AI Drake is a problem for the music industry

Well, that was quick.

Last week we reported on UMG threatening legal action against streaming services that hosted AI-generated music.

Yesterday, a song by Drake featuring The Weeknd went viral.

But...neither artist recorded anything. Their vocals were 100% AI-generated. Without their consent.

As of this writing, it had 250k streams on Spotify. Still up and streamable.

Where does the industry go from here?

Will artists license their AI-generated voice out to covers? Will we see an AI Drake cover of Dolly Parton?

Will streaming and hosting sites become the checkpoint, enforcing rules against AI-generated music?

There’s too much money in this industry.

2023 will be the year we start seeing serious AI regulation.

😬 Great, now Spain wants to ban ChatGPT too

Once again, the EU is playing whack-a-mole with banning ChatGPT.

When Italy moved first, Germany then announced they were looking into a ban. Because, well, they are in Europe and follow the same privacy laws.

Now, Spain is considering a ban.

We’re convinced this is all smoke, but there’s enough noise here to concern OpenAI. We’d also expect the EU to rule on this; they take GDPR painfully seriously.
